Liverpool sign Victor Munoz for Premier League challenge
Liverpool have completed the signing of Victor Munoz from Osasuna ahead of their Premier League campaign. The 22-year-old midfielder arrives with La Liga experience after impressing in the 2025-26 season.
Munoz spent his teenage years at La Masia, Spain’s renowned academy, before progressing through Damm and Real Madrid’s ranks. His move to Osasuna in 2025 marked his breakthrough into senior football, where he quickly established himself as a standout performer.
Radio Catalunya journalist Ernest Macia highlighted Munoz’s attributes as ideal for the Premier League. "What's striking about this player is from a Spanish perspective, it seems a nice story because the guy has been working very hard for years to achieve the first division in Spain and he finally did it," Macia told BBC Radio Merseyside.
Macia emphasized Munoz’s athleticism, creativity, and one-on-one ability. "He's very athletic, he's very creative and he has what most of the teams lack which is this capacity for one-on-one and for high speed which I think for the Premier League will be very useful for him."
The journalist also praised Liverpool’s move, stating: "He's very talented and after almost 40 games [in La Liga] it's a very, very courageous move by Liverpool but I think seems like Barcelona were already looking at him and he deserves this chance and I think he will do well in the Premier League."
Macia described Munoz as a player who "immediately changes the tempo of the game." He added: "Defenders aren't comfortable against him because of his pace and directness. In modern football, I think this kind of speed is very worthy and very valuable. He has that in abundance."
The only concern raised was Munoz’s rapid adaptation to English football. "The only question is – whether in such a short period of time in which he was able to show his value in Spain, will it be at the same pace and the same progress in England?" Macia questioned.
